Which diff fluid?
I searched for diff fluids and found lots of recommendations, but I have an unusual situation. I'm changing the fluid in my daughter's car which will not be tracked and is unlikely to be driven in the winter; but it will live in Minnesota where it never gets hot.
My local parts house has Royal Purple 75w90 and 75w140. Is there any downside to using the heavier oil even if not tracked and in a cold climate?
Thanks.

Hi guys, I think its time for me to do a fluid change. I'm planning on using Mobil 1 75w90. Is this a good oil? I will be going to buttonwillow at the end of the month and forecast shows its gonna be about 100F that day.
I'd like to know what you guys are using.
Thanks in advance

I'll update how it is. I've fried about any oil I've ever put in the diff. One weekend and it comes out black and smelling burnt. Have been using Synergyn Syngear II for a while now but last race in the summer about 30mins in I could smell it pretty good so I started looking for better stuff.
PuddyDad recommends a 75W140 for all track cars. I also use the Mobil 1. I just spoke to him about this and he says the 90W is not heavy enough. He says a minimum of 110 for street cars as it won't sheer down quite as much.
+ 1 on Mobil 1 75W/140 for the stock differential (LS additive not needed for S2000)
I run OS Giken fluid in my puddymod built OS Giken LSD differential.
